Introductions Thread? | ADHD Information

Welcome!  Love to have new people come in to contribute. 

Thanks. :) It's so nice to see a "place" where others understand what I go through on a daily basis.

Unfortunately, I have to go camping tomorrow morning with a bunch of people I have never met, and I'm terrified. I hope they don't hate me. I suck so bad at meeting new people in real life. Anyway, so I'll be back Monday afternoon.

Hi Jessie

Nice to have you. I hope you find what you need. I am learning a lot about myself, and find a great deal of confort in knowing that I am not alone.

 Stick around and share. I learn from others experience

Hi, I'm Jessi. I came here because I need to talk to other people who get what I go through on a daily basis. I've made some amazing friends on another messageboard, but none of them are ADD and so they can't totally understand what I go through. I've been on that one for over a year, and so I'm used to the whole board thing, but I didn't see an introductions thread here to say hi to, and I hate just jumping in without some sort of hello. So... hello. I hope there isn't a thread like this already that I didn't see...

Anyway, thanks.

Welcome!

Welcome Jessifaerie & Qtpi!

Y'all are in the right place. And Qtpi, I have been told I don't look a person with ADD, and I want to ask "what should I look like"? but never have. I'd probably be hurt by the response. But what the hell, maybe I will next time! Should be interesting 

Hi!  I'm new, too.  My actual name is QT3.14159, but the registration thingie wouldn't let me have that name, so shortened to QTPi.  Anyways, I'm glad to see a message board like this - for a long time I thought that it was just ME with certain oddities...well, not oddities.  Let's just say that I dance to the beat of a different banana.  I was diagnosed ADHD at about the same time that I took my son in to be tested.  I found that as I was going through all the information that the doc gave me, I was seeing a lot of myself.  So doc decided to test me as well, and whaddaya know - like mother, like son.  The strangest thing I've found is, when I tell people that Offspring is ADHD, they say things like, Wow, you must have your hands full and they pretty much leave it at that.  But if I mention that I'm ADHD, the reaction is completely different.  There's that step-back-like-it-might-be-catching thing, or there are a million questions about medications and what it's like having ADHD and I must get so much done having so much energy (yeah - one friend actually said that she WISHED she could have ADHD, because she didn't have enough energy to cope with her hectic life....hah!) and that I don't LOOK like a person with ADHD (what am I supposed to look like?).   Odd, huh?  So, I just wanted to say hi.  Hello to the other new people!  Nice to meet y'all!!
